SYRACUSE, August IS.- When
the United Labor convention re-
assembled this morning, the COM
mittee on credentials made its re-
port. The committee had been
in session all night and had had a
lively time. In almost all cases
they reported in favor of the sit
ting delegates. This shows that
the Socialistic element received
but little sanction from the COM
mittee.
The Socialists members of the
committee submitted long mi
nority report in favor of seating
the contesting delegates. A lively
debate followed and although the
speakers were limited to five min
utes each the matter had not been
settled by o'clock, at which time
the convention took a recess un-
til 3 p. m. a
Upon reassembling the COM
mittee on permanent organization
reported John McMackin of New
York for president, and other Of
hcers.
"A communication from the COM
mittee of the Union Labor Party
was Immediately sent back to the
committee with the information
that the convention could not
train with them. Adjourned un-
til morning.

MIR. Haskell hoped that some oi
them would have manhood enough
to attend at Science Hall next
Thursday and stand up for their
class. He challenged them one
and all to come to the front and
show their hands on two PROPOSE
tions: the first was, that the law
yers by the ethics of their profess
ion are charged with the conser-
vation of right and justice; the
second was, that the lawyers dc
not perform their duty in this re-
spect.
Mr.. Haskell then dealt with the
question of splits with the
Iron Law of Wages with So
cialists and with Individualism.
The club adjourned at 1890

He Flogged Naked Boy TIL the
Blood Came for Swimming
In the River.

New York sun, July 30.
The floats of the Fulton Fish
market, at the foot of Beekman
and Fulton streets, are a favorite
rendezvous these hot afternoons
for the South street urchins, who
like to go in swimming without
bathing suits. Captain Gastline
ordered his policemen to break up
the swimming by catching the
boys and putting them un der ar
rest. But this is something the
policemen can't do.
There was big crowd of boys
cutting up shindigs on the floats
and splashing about in the water
at half past three yesterday when
policemen 722 hove in sight, with
fhis rattan in hand. He had fallen
overheard three times during the
week trying to catch the boys.
There was a wild scattering of the
bathers. All got away but 10
ycar-old Patrick McLeen, who
lives at ~ Roosevelt street. The
policeman tossed the boys clothes
overheard and then called to him
to come ashore. The boy didn't
obey, and the policeman drew his
revolver and fired in the air to
frighten him.
Over 100 fishermen and long
shoremen ran to the Bcekman
street dock when they heard the
shot and hooted at the policeman.
DR.. Odell, who used to be a Belle
vue ambulance surgeon, and who
appeared to be much excited,
rushed through the fish market
and sprang down upon the floats
They are very slippery, and he
went head over heels iuto the
water. The crowd on shore jeer-
ed him loudly when hshman
yanked him out.
During all of the commotion the
boy swan to one of the floats, and
the policeman, who was waiting
on the Beekman street pier for
him, stopped down, drew him up
by the arm, and, stretching him
upon the pier, beat him with his
rattan. The blows drew the
blood. The crowd of spectators
shouted at the policeman threat
cningly at this stage, and moved
down towards him, when he sud-
denly ceased beating the boy and
walked away. The boys arms
and legs and back were covered
with bruises.

The meeting opened with a
song; ]. D, Macdonald in the
chair.
The hall committee reported
that they had secured the Hall

Eighteenth and Arapahoe streets,
for future meetings of the Labor
Club.
The committee upon the pro-
posed debate between St. John
and the Labor Party reported
progress.
A letter from Henry c. Dillon,
regretting his inability to attend
and discuss the question in per-
son, was read. 1t was scholarly
and able, and was received with
applause.
Mr.. Cohen made an address of
welcome to those lawyers who
were not present, concluding as
follows:
"If they are not here tonight it
simply proves that they are too
cowardly to face the truth"
Mr.. Millett, a Labor Party law
yer, read copious extracts in de-
ferense of lawyers from the ad-
dress of V. d. Markham, presi-
dent of the State Bar Association,
showing how they had assisted in
Wrestling civil liberty from the
classes for the masses. Mr.
Markham's address concluded
as follows:
Let us add to this, ambition to
emulate the legal heroes of the
past-honesty to our clients, cour-
tesy to the courts, and honor
among ourselves; and, as lawyers
we have done our 7ohole duty tc
mankind and to our profession"
Mr. J. H. Croxton, another La
Dor Party lawyer, eloquently de
Tended his class, but wondered
why they didn't turn up to debate
the question. There are lawyer:
and lawyers; the latter are no
lawyers but shysters, he said. He
only defended the real lawyers.
Perhaps the reason the lawyer:
are not here is because they have
no time to waste on the mud-sill,
who make the money that the bet
ter classes steal, and whom they
believe will never divest them
selves of their ignorance enough
to make Roadway against the
money-bags. There is nothing iii
it for them to be here tonight.

States surreme court decided Ions

light that lands and property
could be taxed up to their full
value, and thus conhscated.
Messrs. Millett, Culmsee, J. ]
Smith, Mitchell, Cohen and Others
cross-fted with questions in ar
interesting manner.
Mr. Culmsee pointed out the
queer fact that while the Goa
miners are laid off for want Of
work and starve, the Kansas farm.
er, unable to sell his corn fol
money to buy coal, has to burr
his crop for fuel.
Mr.. Davis thought an honest
lawyer was scarce article
thought the workers ought tc
unite and not be continually split
ting up; and made an eloquent
peroration concerning the patriot;
of 70.
Mr.. Haskell regretted that the
lawyers were not present in force
The reason they were not, he said
was because they had sunk so low
under the operation of the pres
ent competitive system that they
did not have pride enough even IL
defend the honor OF their profes
sion. There were lawyers il
